    Universal precautions are safety precautions used with every client. Since you cannot identify every client who may transmit infection, you must treat all human body fluids as if they were known to be infectious. Handwashing is the single most effective means of preventing the transfer of infection.

    More than 10 million bacteria are on a typical office desk ---400 times more than bacteria than found in the average toilet seat.--Which means that typing an email or making a call puts your at risk of contracting infections.

    Germs and Viruses are all around us --Everyday we each breathe in over 100,000,000.They spread to the nose,mouth,or eyes,by sneezing,coughing or rubbing of eyes and then can be transferred into others also by hands to food or even animals to people.

    Germs and Viruses are most common on high touch surfaces such as doorknobs handles ,switches and countertops,.Liquids such blood,semen and other body fluids infect you and can be found on linen.Germs and Viruses everyday being so common in our households,workplaces,and hospitals has led to thousands of household products (sanitizers and disinfectants) being created and sold everyday.

    There are several of harmful chemicals used in our homes each day,  Below will compare the benefits of incorporating Green Cleaning into the home.

    A common household product, window cleaner, contains Dioxane,  Dioxane with prolong use can harm eyes, skin, lungs, liver and kidneys. A green subsititue is white vinegar and water.  A very common household product is laundry detergent and they contain Alkyphonol Ethoxylates.  AE's have been linked to breast cancer and are highly toxic to amphibians. A brand called puracy natural laundry detergent has a very high green rating. Hydrogen perioxide can also be used to clean laundry. Many households use air fresheners reguarly.  Common air freshners contain formaldehyde and many other VOC's.  These products should be avoided at all costs.  A great green air freshner is non-toxic brand absolute green. Fresh flowers and pine cones also freshen air!

    A great place to start on your Green Cleaning journey is IJCSA.org/Green Cleaning Directory.

    As this information is shared, learned, and implemented, I believe, Green Cleaning will become the new normal for homes throughout the world!

    Company ABC, Inc., owner Jack has been considering green cleaning for several years.  His business is in a downturn and adding green cleaning, may be the perk his business needs.

    Jack reached out to IJCSA.org/Green-Cleaning-Services and enrolled himself and staff in the green cleaning certificate course.  Upon completion of the course he added green cleaning to his website and business cards.  He promoted no harsh chemicals, biodegradable products and envionmentally friendly on his website.

    Currently, my employer does not offer green cleaning.  Now, after taking the green cleaning course, I will petition my employer to consider the vast benefits of green cleaning.

    I will develop a cost anaylsis chart proving the cost savings with green cleaning.  Currently we purchase expensive glass cleaners, disenfectants, fabric freshners and all purpose cleaners, etc.  I will chart for them the gross savings of purchasing large quantities of vinegar, baking soda, borax and lemon.  I will give them mixtures and request their housekeeping staff test the new green products.

    I beleive this will sway them into adapting green cleaning!

    IJCSA is the best place to gain knowledge of cleaning and cleaning related matters. Before I let any of my office admins out of training, they MUST pass a customer service certification through IJCSA so I know I can trust their skills.

     Their experience with training in customer service out does any other organization. I am happy to extend my knowledge and the knowledge of my employees in order to better take care of my clients.

    thank you IJCSA for creating easy access at https://www.ijcsa.org/Find-A-Cleaning-Service-Janitorial-Service

    Need your home cleaned but are not interested in introducing toxic chemicals in to your home or business? Look no further than to the certified professionals of the IJCSA Master Green Cleaning Program.

    We undergo rigerous testing and training exercises to ensure we provide you with the very best cleaning that will also cause no harm to either your family or our environment.

    I have learned a great many things throughout this course but I think the most eye opening is the way these chemicals are processed, how they affect our bodies/environment, and how companies have been able to hide these practices for so long. I think the most interesting thing I have learned are the many ways you can take common naturally occurring items and create cleaning products that function the same or even better than the toxic chemicals that cause so much harm. It has been truly amazing to me to see these things in action, use them, and be able to understand how much of an impact that switching to green cleaning has made on our environment.

    There are many benefits to being cleaners or owning a cleaning company. Some of those benefits lie in the certifications we obtain while progressing through our careers. These certifications give us a more in depth look at the small details behind our industry and knowing those details are what separate us from the general public and make us professionals. Along with that though, we also garner some responsibilities to the public and our employees. Chief among those is doing what is best for their health and safety.

    Being charged with someone else's safety and health is a great responsibility. It is a boon that you must accept with our profession and it is indeed one that must be taken with the highest sincerity. To be perfectly frank about it, I can think of no better way to do that than to offer Green Cleaning Services.

    If we look at what Green Cleaning really is it will be to make a commitment to not only the population of our planet but, to our planet as its own entity. There is no more noble cause in our industry than to modify your insights, beliefs, and practices to eradicate the use of harmful, and often times carcinogenic chemicals, from use so that we can rebuild and maintain our planet for our future generations.

    These new, future generations we are bringing in to this world are already fighting an uphill battle because of the damage these chemicals and plastics have caused our planet over the course of nearly a century. So, why would it really not be our responsibility to make the necessary corrections to fix this problem? If you have been alive more than 25 years or so there is a very good chance that unknowingly we have contributed greatly to this crisis.

    The use and exposure to hazardous chemicals are the primary cause of many common disorders today that affect many of our bodily systems daily including our lungs, skin, and central nervous system components like our brains and that is just one of the most obvious reasons why being a green cleaner is far more beneficial than not. I choose to be better.
